For governance purposes it is divided between the towns of Champdoré and Grand-Bouctouche and the rural communities of Beausoleil[5] and Maple Hills;[6] Maple Hills is a member of the Southeast Regional Service Commission, while the others belong to the Kent RSC.[7]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between the village of Saint-Antoine, the rural community of Cocagne and the local service districts of Grande-Digue, Grand Saint-Antoine, Shediac Bridge-Shediac River, the parish of Dundas, and (through its Saint-Grégoire special service area) the parish of Wellington.[8] Cocagne, Grande-Digue, and Shediac Bridge-Shediac River, and most of the Dundas Parish LSD are now part of Beausoleil, Saint-Antoine and Grand Saint-Antoine part of Champdoré, while the community of Dundas in the western end of the parish is part of Maple Hills.

The parish LSD was informally referred to as Notre-Dame after one its communities.
